Uniquely situated amongst the reed beds and paddy fields in the shadow of mighty Sigiriya, in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, Vil Uyana was described by the discerning hedonists at Harper’s Baazar magazine as the best eco luxury hotel in Sri Lanka. It’s got some pretty stiff competition, but it’s not an accolade we can take issue with.
The remarkable thing about this hotel is how seamlessly the hotel blends with its surroundings. By employing timeless vernacular architecture, the creators have ensured nothing looks out of place. If you didn’t know it was a hotel, you’d take it for a traditional local village. Which makes it all the more impressive when you discover what lies behind the facade once your driver has delivered you to the door.
The Vil Uyana spa has an excellent range of genuine high quality Ayurvedic treatments. It is worth trying ancient Ayurvedic healing at least once whilst in Sri Lanka.
Go on the loris night trail. The Loris is a small nocturnal primate and Vil Uyana is famous for its conservation efforts, with the preservation of the loris central to its strategy.
